you have to have the right kind of toilet plunger. other than that, if it's on the door or somewhere with a removable inside panel, take it off and then use a folded towel and a rubber mallet to pound it out. just be gentle please.. lol.

One of my co workers once jumped and sat on my hood. Left a huge dent in it. Here is how I got it out:

1. Leave your car out in the sun for a couple of hours.
2. Get a bag and put some ice in it.
3. Go out to your car and rub the bag of ice on the dent area.

Guess what happens to metal when it is rapidly cooled.

ok first off the ice method works on large soft dents, not tiny ones from say kicking the door. theres 3 options here, one the plunger method and no no no do not use a toilet plunger, no offense to a redneck method but it won't do a proper job. go to a pep boys and get a automotive suction cup. it's used for pulling dents out the correct way. another method to open a kick panel to get to it. lastly u can get a "low temper" glue gun andput just enough glue on the area and stick something into the glue u can pull with. let the hot glue dry then pull the dent out and the glue should just pop off. now u have to becareful on this method cause u can tear paint off depending on the dent. lastly thiers a product that uses the hot glue method it's called pops a dent. idk how well it would work though. btw the method u mention is a slide hammer and a hot rivet spot welder type gun. that's used in really bad accidents that require major body work. just use a suction cup for like 5-15 bucks and be done with it.
